In the vast forest sea of Yannan Mountain, the dense sound of horses' hooves and shouts are endless, startling the birds to take off and flee in a hurry.

Billowing smoke rose from the ground and stood out.

"Shhh

A horse chirping, full of pain and sorrow, suddenly sounded, startling a group of birds.

"Bang!"

Seriously injured, and running with all his strength for so long, the blood all over his body was almost dried, in this case, even the top god horse of Hulan Ranch finally couldn't bear it, his qi and blood were exhausted, his front hooves were soft, and he fell directly to the ground, and the horse's hooves gently rubbed the soil back and forth on the ground, and he didn't even have the strength to struggle to get up.

Rao is immediate Gu Xuan had already taken precautions and reacted in time, but he still rolled on the ground several times because of the huge inertia before he unloaded the momentum.

Before he had time to pat off the dirt on his body, Gu Xuan hurriedly stood up and ran to the side of this loyal war horse in a few steps.

Sometimes, it's not a good thing that the vitality is too strong, and it was stabbed by the horse bandit in the chest and abdomen, and it ran for so long that even the intestines have flowed out, but it still held on and didn't die, just lying on the ground, hissing incessantly, but the voice was getting lower and lower, and it was obviously dying.

The sound of galloping horses' hooves slowly stopped, and Jinglong, who had been following behind him, also led two horses over at this time.

"Lord Wang!"

Looking at this situation, even Jinglong was quite sentimental.

On the battlefield, for soldiers, war horses are the same as comrades-in-arms, not only can they trust each other with their lives, but many times, they can save your life, he joined the army as a teenager, and he doesn't know how many life and death partings he has experienced, so he naturally understands how Gu Xuan feels now.

Gu Xuan's eyes were full of tears, his face was sad, his knees fell to the ground, kneeling next to this war horse, clenching his teeth, and he couldn't get down for a long time.

Jinglong waited quietly beside him and didn't say anything.

The pursuers have not yet completely escaped, and they don't know how many ambushes are waiting for them ahead, and they can't delay.

Gu Xuan finally made up his mind.

"I'm sorry!"

He tightened his grip on the sword, found its place, plunged deep into its heart, and then gripped the hilt of the sword and whirled it heavily.

Lying on the ground, covered in blood, the extremely weak war horse let out the last wail of this life, and the whole body bounced up in an instant, and in a blink of an eye, it fell to the ground again, and finally stopped moving.

Gu Xuan pulled out his sword, but no blood splashed out, which showed how tragic the situation was.

He reached out his hand, gently closed his eyes, and knelt on the ground again, silent for a long time, before he got back to his feet.

At this time, Gu Xuan could no longer see tears on his face, and there was only a seeping cold silence in his eyes, which complemented the raging fire that was faintly visible in the distance.

Jinglong hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Lord Wang, you ride my horse, I ride this one!"

As he spoke, he tugged on the reins and led the two horses behind him.

War horses belong to war resources, and they are indispensable consumables for replacement, so the imperial courts of various countries will not trade easily, a good war horse is more expensive than gold, and it is simply priceless, so these horses in the hands of these famous horse bandits come and go like the wind in the sand sea, in fact, most of them are not real war horses, many are even old horses used to pull carts in the market, but this one was captured by Jinglong, and the qualifications are not bad, at least in a short period of time, it can keep up with the feet of two Hulan horses, but in the long run, it is definitely not as good as Hulan horses。

At the same speed, one can run continuously for a day, and the other can only maintain less than half an hour, which is certainly not the same concept.

And the speed and endurance of the war horse directly determine the probability that the two can escape back, so compared with the two, it is naturally better to ride the Hulan Divine Horse, but Gu Xuan shook his head seriously, and then directly turned over the ordinary war horse that was snatched from the horse bandit next to him, and said calmly: "I said, we want to go together." ”

After speaking, no matter how Jinglong behind him persuaded him, he rode forward directly and galloped all the way.

At this time, not a minute or a second can be delayed.

Gu Xuan, who was riding on the horse, was also thinking seriously, the other party had to abolish the horse under his seat first, regardless of his life, obviously he had a desire to kill him.

But this is simply incredible for horse bandits, who have always been known for their looseness.

They are all a group of selfish, disregarding the lives of their peers, and even cold-blooded killers who will not hesitate to kill their companions in the face of interests, how can they easily sacrifice their lives for the goal of the group, this is simply a dead soldier cultivated by a big family, it's too wrong.

That is to say, behind them, there must be a force that can completely control them, and even make them willing to die.

Who is it?

The horse bandits on the border are not of one heart, they are the same as the Rakshasa tribe in the sand sea, they are also divided into many, large and small groups, and they can gather hundreds of thousands of people to come here to chase and intercept themselves, this main messenger must not be an ordinary person.

The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit.

The horse bandits are typical unprofitable goods.

But what good can you do by killing yourself?

Gu Xuan couldn't think of it at all.

Once he dies, Huangsha County will either be directly abandoned by the imperial court, or a group of Youzhou troops will be stationed directly, so what good can he do if he kills himself?

In other words, in what way did he block the interests of these horse bandits, or the people behind them?

----------------------------------------------------

At the same time, in Qilian Mountain, in the city lord's mansion of Qilian City.

Duanmu Shuofeng was sitting directly below the huge border map in his room, playing a serious game with the gentleman dressed as a scribe.

In the small stove next to it, the charcoal fire was burning vigorously, and Duanmu Shuofeng first poured tea for the other party, and then sat down peacefully.

On the table chessboard, one black and one white, two giant dragons, fighting each other, the momentum of the black dragon is majestic, wide open and closed, there is the atmosphere of devouring the world, and the white dragon's whereabouts are erratic, unpredictable, often around the black dragon * can not find the north at all, occasionally counterattack, it is bound to tear a big bite from the other party's body, back and forth a few times, the black dragon's momentum will no longer be as arrogant as at the beginning, regardless of rushing forward, without biting off the other party's flesh, his own dragon head was cut off.

Duanmu Shuofeng reluctantly put down the sunspot in his hand that had been held for a long time, and arched his hand: "Sir, I admit defeat." ”

Wu Heng, a scribe who was rarely dressed in a purple robe today, shook his feather fan lightly and said with a slight smile: "Gongzi is good at political affairs every day, and he rarely has time to practice. ”

Duanmu Shuofeng's heart flashed a trace of unhappiness, his competitiveness is extremely strong, even if he admits that the other party has the power of the world, he does not allow the other party to be more powerful than him, the same in all aspects, after all, as a king, aiming at the world, it is a transcendent existence that wants to be above everyone, no matter how powerful the other party is, it is also his own subordinate, how can he surpass himself.

However, the thoughts in his heart turned around, and Duanmu Shuofeng still said with a ashamed expression on the surface: "Shame, Go is a gentleman's art, I should have studied more." ”

Without waiting for Wu Heng to answer, he spoke again and asked softly: "Sir, I heard from my subordinates that you took the initiative to contact the other side of Shahai?"

As an ambitious monarch, he actually doesn't care about what small actions his subordinates do behind their backs, after all, it is human nature to be selfish, but without his permission, he contacted others privately, and even used part of his own strength, he felt that the other party was a little overdone, this is his bottom line, and no one can cross it, even if it is the think tank in front of him who relies on him as his left and right hand.

It can also be said that he is very uncomfortable with this person who has always regarded himself as a strategist, but he has an unfathomable attitude everywhere and does not like to tell himself through everything.

He doesn't want to get along with the other party on an equal footing, because he is a king, and the other party is a minister, and he wants to completely control the other party.

But now he offended Wu Heng, that is what a fool can do, so he has always been respectful to this gentleman with a mysterious background, and even treats him as a disciple on the surface.

As soon as he asked like this, Wu Heng sighed softly and said, "Well, it's time to reveal something to Childe." ”

"Listen up!"

Duanmu Shuofeng saluted respectfully.

Wu Heng thought for a moment, but still said frankly: "I privately mobilized Gongzi's subordinates in the Sand Sea, just to kill two people, because I believe that if these two people don't die, they will be in great trouble for you and me in the future." ”

"Oh?" Duanmu Shuofeng suddenly became interested, because in his eyes, in this remote southern land, he actually didn't think anyone was qualified to be his opponent, and now the prince of Liang Country was a bit of a bit of a look, but if it weren't for Liang Guo's power, he wouldn't pay too much attention to it.

After all, he is a person who is proud of the sky, and he is naturally very interested in the term 'great trouble'.

Who can be a big problem for themselves?

Or who deserves to be in their own trouble?

He didn't even care about the other party's words, and put himself on the same level as him.

Wu Heng, a scribe with a mysterious background, leaned forward slightly, and said slowly: "I have a junior brother who is assisting the five princes of the Liang Kingdom. ”

Bro?

Duanmu Shuofeng was slightly stunned, such a powerful gentleman, there is actually a junior brother?

In other words, there should be a master behind this, and Duanmu Shuofeng suddenly became more interested.

Seeing his stunned look, the scribe Wu Heng continued to throw out a sentence that shocked Duanmu Shuofeng.

"Not only that, but there are also three senior brothers, one senior sister!"
